YAY IS SO SMUG.

dirtknight

Every time Yay pops up I love them more and more Best metaphorical giant squid

Stephen Wells

Yeah, dammit, I got the pronouns wrong because I was thinking of Roko. yay for edits :)

Ross

I was extremely worried that Bubbles found the phone number **inside the restroom they're standing outside of**.

fx_in_mind

Yay has been becoming distinctive more feminine over time, but I think they are a they? In the literal sense of the word, since they have multiple bodies. Their first one was distinctly masculine though.

Russell Guldin

Yay's redemption arc continues to make me smile. And I'm at work.

Stephen Wells

"I'm being my best self." -"But you're terrible." "Yes."

Bethany Cramer

Yay! It’s Yay!

Maurice Kessler

Hooboy, that asthma moment sure hits home.

Joseph Bonnar

Smug Yay is best Yay. :)

Stephen Wells

Roko's reaction indicates that Bubbles and Yay dealt with it all over wifi; so Roko can see Yay just did *something* she's smug about, but doesn't know what she did.

Todd Ellner

That is a kind of West African rice. If the smell of tea and bread sends AIs to Unicorns &Fairies Land Jollof rice would fry their circuits

Mitch Megaw

Am I supposed to be wondering if Bubbles called Roko to ask Yay or did she call Yay directly?

Mitch Megaw

She THINKS she is but she also tries to play two courses at the same time with … mixed results.

ValdVin

The last hole in my area was always the clown's nose. Is the loop-de-loop last hole an Albany, or perhaps, a Utica thing?

Jeph Jacques

*Daz voice* YES LET'S JOLF

David Pipes

12 pack of New Coke? I'd pitch the ball into the bushes and leave... No sense risking making the hole...

Shawn K. Younkin

LOL- it can't be Melon, nothing is on fire... yet.

Ruth Merriam

My Mother's Day is now complete.

Miyaa

I think it is Melon because you save the loop-de-loop for the 19th hole where you challenge the players to ace (hole-in-one) the hole for a free game or a 12 pack of New Coke. (Yes, I have not played miniature golf since 1985.)

Mad Marie

That appears at first glance to be a loop-de-loop on the first hole poking up from behind the bushes, but I wonder if it’s actually Melon’s hair…

Ace of Hearts

That hole looks like one from the Homestar Mini Golf place Sweet Puttin' Cakes

Miyaa

I hope Melon is also involved and is surprisingly good at mini-golf.

Czarzhan

I really would love to see an arc with Yay and Roko. It seems like we haven't seen them in forever.

ValdVin

Wait, am I supposed to tip my waitress generously and also try the veal? I never can figure this out without being prompted.

Ted Van Roekel

Booooo! You didn't have to club us with a golf pun.

Mad Marie

Jeph: can you make the next several weeks about the rest of the golf outing? Asking for a friend, who is me.

Mad Marie

Does that make these two “Jolf Jocks”?

Andrew

Yay’s reaction seems to be about par for the course.

Mitsuki Ayane

Yay! ~<3

jimbo

YAY they're back!

Robert L

Actually, it's pronounced "jolf".

Stephen Wells

(Brun and Millie are the other ones on that list, btw)

SpookyPenguin

I love the implication that the Matrix is just an AI on a mini-golf date.

Freid

Emmett looks sooo friggin’ adorable in that first frame. Hold om sweetheart 😭💕

Stephen Wells

One day Yay will take Roko to meet their mother (meaning Aurelia, obviously) and then it'll be official :)

Stephen Wells

Ever since Roko told Yay they could move in with her and get a cat, I've had them on the "married for years without realising it" list. This nocturnal minigolf date is utterly delightful :)

Captain Button

With that wheezing, now I am worried about if Emmett carries an inhaler.

Steve H

Yay for Yay!

Onyx

Emmett passing out: Averted

Miyaa

Which is why Mario Golf & Tennis are quite diabolical.

Absentia

Yay's first appearence: mysterious and powerful God-AI with motives beyond understanding. Yay now: dork who likes helping people and going on mini-golf dates with their not-yet girlfriend.

Bagge

Thank you, Yay

Absentia

Claire and Pintsize had an argument about thst earlier I'm the comic. Technology isn't quite at that level yet.

MikeT

At least there is no blue shells in putt putt

Huckleberry

We have seen humans with robotic arms and hands. I'm assuming there are other things that can be added to humans. Maybe robotics could help Clair with her gender problem.

Todd Ellner

Yay has made a Contribution

S. Rune Emerson

This makes me so freaking unnecessarily happy! I am here for ALL OF IT.

Bagge

Oooooh, they went for the unnecessarily powerful God AI solution. I really love what that says about Bubbles. - Full on mama bear already. I really hope Emmet or Sam don't find themselves in front of an out-of-control train or something, because the poor train doesn't deserve what Bubbles would do to it. - Willing to make Yay a favour to make them feel good.

It's Lina

Mini-golf dates never go out of style

fizzle snitch

Them and they :)

DaddyUmbreon

Yay has just gotten BUBBLES to ask her to do some illicit shit. She is over the fucking moon right now 😂 stunning.

Nutjob

Maybe touching your ear-analogue while talking to someone who isn't present is a form of politeness

R L

This is abusing power for good. I am torn.

Rich Holmes

Indeed, far too long. Both Roko and Yay.

Just when I thought: "Hey, would be nice to see Roko again."

William Cole

I could never have predicted panel 3, and yet, somehow, I NEEDED it!

Tim Eldred

Yay is just happy to be included when clandestine data gathering is needed. They enjoy the simple things in life.

Mad Marie

If I were a rich and powerful person, I would totally suggest a business meeting “on the golf course” and then give them the address of Monty’s Crazy Mini-Golf.
